"Deluxe LP housed in a gatefold jacket. Limited to 1,000 copies. There are but a handful of composers toiling in terror that fully understand how to manipulate an image. Max Steiner, Bernard Hermann, Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith, Riz Ortalani, Danny Elfman, Christopher Young; all of these visionary artists helped define not only how we watch horror and dark fantasy films, but how we listen to them as well. We can easily add Richard Band to that list of heavy sonic hitters. The veteran music man has sculpted dozens upon dozens of rapturous scores for films ranging from the classic (Re-Animator) to the curious (Mutant) to the questionable (Laserblast). But perhaps no other work defines Band's genius than the haunting soundtrack he created for his Brother Charles Band's immortal 1989 thriller Puppet Master and its many sequels. The tale of a mystical puppeteer named Andre Toulon and his troupe of living, lethal marionettes who are dispatched through the ages to commit all manner of mischief and murder, the Puppet Master films are the Band brothers' calling cards, revered B movies that exemplify craft and have over, the past quarter century, have etched a fascinating cinematic mythology. Outside of the presence of the now iconic dolls themselves, at the center of the Puppet Master voodoo is that haunting Band music and of course the gently malevolent theme itself. Taking tinkling found sounds, electronic and symphonic elements and weaving them into a majestic death waltz, the Puppet Master theme speaks of magic, mystery and the unknown. Along with the other marvelous themes, cues and stings you'll find here from many of the Puppet Master sequels, this music is a testament to Richard Band's talent and ability to turn even the most modestly budgeted effort into rich, fully immersive and grandiose cinematic experiences."

2014 repress. "Re-Animator is a 1985 American science fiction horror film based on the H.P. Lovecraft story 'Herbery West -- Re-Animator.' Directed by Stuart Gordon, it was the first film in the Re-Animator series. The film has since become a cult classic, driven by fans of Jeffrey Combs (who stars as Herbert West) and H.P. Lovecraft, extreme gore, and the combination of horror and comedy. Roger Ebert: 'I walked out somewhat surprised and reinvigorated (if not re-animated) by a movie that had the audience emitting taxi whistles and wild goat cries.' Richard Howard Band is a composer of film music. He has scored more than 70 films, including From Beyond, which won the award for Best Original Soundtrack at the Catalonian International Film Festival in Sitges, Spain. His score for Re-Animator was lauded by the magazine Music from the Movies, which said, 'Band's music is dark and direct, creating an intense and eerie atmosphere, but always with a humorous touch... Surely, Richard Band is one of the most underrated composers in the film business.' Recorded in Italy in 1985, the Re-Animator score is performed by the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra. Layers of synth driven beats and eerie tonal figures layered by Richard Band make this score a classic within the horror genre, immediately recognizable amongst fans, and pays tribute to composer Bernard Herman (Psycho, Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane, Cape Fear). Remastered for vinyl from the original master tapes. Comes on 180 gram vinyl. Includes liner notes by director Stuart Gordon and Richard Band, and an 18x24" poster."
